What's killing the feel of this game is not cinematics; it's the community, spewing endless vitriol at any player who dares express any opinion that does not reinforce their preconceptions. Part of me wishes they could get their way and that every single person who has even a single criticism of this game would quit, leaving another Star Wars product in the dust-bin of history unable to overcome the social atrophy that has crippled the Star Wars community as a whole.
So this

Was in a guild that had the most griefing / immature / racist leaders / officers that I've ever seen in my 10 years of MMOing and it was the BIGGEST guild on our server. (500 members)... lordy...

But I thought 90% agreed with you?
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

You can turn the slider for voices down to zero and then read and spacebar to your hearts content OP.

I think people who do that are missing out on pretty much the entire point of the game, but hey, do what you want, but don't you even think of posting on a forum about how I am doing it is wrong, and that you are quitting because of it, because you know what? I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU DO EVER!

Interactive cut scenes are one of TOR's best features and one of the only things that makes it stand out.

I whole-heartedly disagree, OP.

The old republic as far as I know is set before the movies. Also You can just spacebar through the cinematics if you wish.

Unfortunately I've seen a lot of this in a lot of MMOs. Not just TOR. I think it just comes down to this:

John Gabriel's Greater Internet Theory:

Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total F***wad

Personally, I think there are a lot of people out there that use the internet to air the "dirty laundry" of their attitudes because they have anonymity and what they feel is immunity for their words and actions. IRL, they are forced to exercise more social grace or risk losing friends / family members. Couple that with the possibility that many MMO players are nerds / geeks, which have an abnormally high number of socially stunted people, and we get MMOs that are full of people who are selfish, immature and refuse to conduct themselves in a civil and friendly manner.

I mean think about it. There are MMOs that are purposefully left so open and free that half the point is just running around and ganking / griefing other players. *cough*eve-online*cough*

MMO communities and American politics are doing a fine job of killing my faith in the human race.

My my. I ranted a bit long there, didn't I? Move along. Nothing to see here.

Did you really just say "I mean WoW doesn't have the cinema tics but it has the text that you can read at your owns paces and imagine what it would look like in your head"? Really, you went there and put that out as if it was a positive aspect related to WoW....



Dear Lord how far our intellectual and reasoning standards have fallen.....
